”As an all-round proposition, the Technics SL-G700M2 is hard to better at the price.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
SACD player, streamer and more This Technics player truly has it all. SACD offers ultimate Super Audio Compact Disc playback, as well as compatibility with regular CDs. Much more than just a regular CD player, however, the Technics SL-G700M2 is also equipped with a supremely flexible music streamer – including support for AirPlay, Chromecast, Spotify, TIDAL, Internet radio, Bluetooth and more. The USB DAC makes it possible to connect your PC, TV and other devices for a huge boost to their sonic prowess.
The highest quality digital sound – for all sources At the heart of this Technics super-source, is a High Precision Coherent DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) that benefits each and every digital source fed through it. Dual ESS pro DACs produce incredible detail, precision and dynamics. Separate DACs for each channel enhance the soundstage for breathtaking imaging and depth. The digital filter uses a discreet signal path for reduced distortion and enhanced realism.
Coherent processing Technics’ proprietary Coherent Processing uses pre-DAC signal processing to minimise signal distortion and improve the purity of sound. This is available from all digital sources, except DSD/SACD that input directly to the DAC.
Top quality SACD sound With SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc) compatibility, you get Hi-Res sound from disc. SACD, Direct Stream Digital (DSD) discs offer far higher resolution than ordinary CDs and are similar in quality to 24-bit music files. The result is a more natural sound, revealing subtle detail and texture in the music.
Stream music the way you want The built-in streamer works with a wide range of popular services and delivery systems. Connect by wi-fi or Ethernet and enjoy favourite music services such as Deezer, TIDAL, Amazon Music, Qobuz and Spotify (premium accounts may be required). You can also choose between AirPlay and built-in Chromecast for seamless streaming within an Apple or Google ecosystem. Internet radio and Bluetooth complete a full house of connectivity.
Enhance the sound of your other digital devices Featuring USB-B, optical and coaxial digital inputs, the SL-G700M2 accepts digital inputs from your other sources and boosts their sound quality. Use the USB-B for unsurpassed audio quality from your laptop or PC. The optical and coaxial are ideal for hooking up a TV and games console and playing them through your hi-fi or AV system – and all benefiting from the Technics High Precision Coherent DAC technology.
The perfect device for your Hi-Res music files Both the USB-B input and network support a wide range of Hi-Res music files, making the SL-G700M2 ideal for your top quality music files. Compatible with WAV and AIFF up to 32-bit/384kHz, FLAC and ALAC up to 24-bit/384kHz, DSD up to 11.2MHz and MQA files, the SL-G700M2 is a master of Hi-Res music.
Dedicated headphone output Rather than simply being fed from the main output supply, the headphone socket has its own, dedicated amplifier. This incorporates Technics’ unique JENO engine (Jitter Elimination and Noise-shaping Optimisation) for smooth, distortion-free sound. What’s more, the Class AA amp provides high current, letting you drive a wide range of headphones – even ones that are usually too ‘quiet’ when driven by an ordinary headphone output.
Class-leading build quality Utilising a four-section design and aluminium die-cast disc tray, the disc drive and laser mechanism are superbly isolated from vibrations. Inside the case, components are divided into four sections, giving excellent electrical noise insulation between each part – helping to reduce distortion and make the sound cleaner. The quality finish continues through to the 7mm thick aluminium front panel and vibration isolating feet.
Fully connected, including studio quality outputs Fitted with balanced, XLR outputs, the SL-G700M2 is compatible with balanced studio/audiophile quality equipment. These professional grade sockets provide the lowest level of distortion and reduce signal loss over longer lengths. Brass-milled RCA phono outputs are also fitted. Other connections include optical and coaxial digital outputs and a front-mounted USB-A that’s ideal for memory stick music file playback.
Boost your entire digital music system, with the Technics SL-G700M2.
